Use cases
What Llama 4 Maverick is great at.
-
Multimodal Document Processing
Send a 50-page PDF screenshot alongside a prompt. Maverick reads the image, extracts tables, and returns structured JSON. The 131K context window fits the full document plus your system prompt.
-
Multi-Step Analysis
Feed a codebase diff and ask for security review, test suggestions, and a summary in one call. With 17B active parameters per expert, Maverick routes internally to the right specialists for each subtask.
-
Long-Form Generation
Draft a 5,000-word technical report with citations from a 80K-token source document. The MoE architecture keeps output coherent across long runs without the cost of a full 400B dense forward pass.
FAQ
Common questions.
What does Llama 4 Maverick cost through AIVory?
The price depends on which provider the router picks. As of June 2026, the cheapest input rate is around $0.13 per million tokens. The live table above shows the current rate. No subscription, no minimum spend.
Can Maverick process images?
Yes. Maverick accepts image inputs natively. Pass base64-encoded images in the messages array, same format as the OpenAI vision API. The router only selects providers that support multimodal input for image requests.
Maverick vs Llama 4 Scout - when to use which?
Scout (109B, 17B active) costs less and responds faster. Maverick (400B, 17B active per expert, more experts) handles harder reasoning and image tasks. Start with Scout. Move to Maverick when Scout's output quality isn't enough.
